New York City.- Tabla Rasa Gallery is pleased to present “Childish Things” on view at the gallery from October 12th through December 10th. In this exhibition, images of objects/games/activities associated with childhood, are transformed by the viewpoint of artists, revealing layers of obsession, complexity, metaphor and meaning. The title comes from a Biblical line in Corinthians: “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” (American King James Version). But artists often do not put away childish things. Artistic expression can transcend the conventions of physical age. Fledgling artists may display uncanny wisdom, and mature artists can remain as fresh, playful, and experimental as did Picasso throughout his life. Original paintings, photographs, cut paper and other works on paper will be on display.
